London Food

I had some of the best food experiences when trying some of the most traditional English dishes. I started my English food quest with a lamb Sunday Roast from The Old Queens Head in Islington. It is a lively neighborhood pub on Essex Road with karaoke.

Hint: A bartender at another neighborhood pub told me that Sunday Roasts are served on Sundays only. Ask me how I found out: I ordered their Sunday Roast on a Friday and got the traditional facts. Plan your visit well if you only have one Sunday in London, which was my case.

I had brunch at the Darwing Brasserie on the 36th floor of the Sky Garden building. I ordered a fruit platter and some Nutella pancakes.

Hint: Skip the line to the Sky Garden by making a reservation at one of its bars and restaurants. This way, you will be directed to the elevator faster.
